Finally Someone Told Me

I finally found out what the covers of the Twilight Saga mean (except Breaking Dawn)

Twilight: (I already knew this) Stephenie Meyer has stated that the apple on the cover represents the forbidden fruit from the book of Genesis. It symbolizes Bella’s and Edward’s love, which is forbidden, not unlike the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, as is made obvious by the quote from Genesis 2:17 that opens the book. It also represents Edward’s choice.

New Moon: Stephenie Meyer has stated that the flower on the cover of New Moon has no significance to the story, as she had no part in choosing its design.

Eclipse: The broken ribbon represents choice, as in the book Bella must choose between her love for Edward Cullen, her vampire boyfriend, and her friendship/love with Jacob Black. Meyer also stated that the ribbon represents the idea that Bella can’t break away completely from her human life.
